Wireframing in Planio

One of the coolest aspects of Planio is its versatility and flexibility. In addition to its inherent project management capabilities, which are awesome, you can expand Planio's functionality by taking advantage of our unique integration-partnerships. Basically, we've teamed up with some of the most innovative solution providers on the software scene and worked with them to enable you to include unique functionality within the Planio environment.

One of these providers is Pidoco, a software-as-a-service solution that makes it easy for you to quickly create wireframes, interactive software prototypes, and rich specifications without any programming. Thanks to Planio's integrative features, you can import your wireframe creations directly into your wiki pages! This gives you the opportunity to share development concepts with members of your project team within the Planio environment.

So if you want to save money in terms of development costs while fostering UI collaboration within a singular environment, then Planio + Pidoco is definitely the way to go. Given all this coolness, today's post will discuss how to configure your Planio environment so that it can use Pidoco wireframing technology. So, without further ado, let's get to it...

Configuring Planio and Pidoco

Our first step will be to enable Pidoco for your Planio project:

Browse to your project.

Click Settings.

Click the Planio Apps tab.

Select the Pidoco check box.

Click Save.

If you haven't already set up an account with Pidoco, then go ahead and create one now (if you need any assistance with how to use Pidoco, just check out their Support Page).

We hope that this information has been useful! In our next blog post we'll introduce the newest member of the Planio team and, in the future, we'll explore how other integrations work (e.g., invoicing in Planio using SalesKing).

Until the next time!

Update from 3 weeks ago... Brian now knows all the names of the My Little Pony ponies and has memorized the lyrics of 5 cartoons for children. When not playing with his soon-to-be 6 year old daughter, Brian enjoys wearing Lord of the Rings t-shirts and constantly endeavoring to remain a geek (or is it nerd?).
